Butragueño: “Dear members, thank you very much for sharing this journey together”
Real Madrid's Director of Institutional Relations, Emilio Butragueño, hosted the event: “The 1965-1966 season, when you became part of our great family, was unforgettable for madridismo. In football, Real Madrid made history again by winning its sixth European Cup in an unforgettable final in Brussels against Partizan Belgrade. The goals scored by our beloved Serena and Amancio are forever etched in the memory of all madridistas. In that match, a 21-year-old young man, who today is the honorary president of Real Madrid, Pirri, played. Real Madrid now has six European Cups in its record, and this team symbolizes a new generation of talent, character, and ambition that keeps the club at the top of European football.”
“In basketball, Real Madrid continues to dominate the national scene with authority. Our team, coming off the back of winning two European Cups in two seasons, claimed the League title for the seventh consecutive time and won its tenth Spanish Cup, consolidating a glorious era and laying the foundations for a historic hegemony in Europe, with players like our cherished Clifford Luyk and Emiliano Rodríguez. On the international sports stage, our unforgettable Manolo Santana achieved the greatest success in Spanish tennis history up to that time by winning the Wimbledon Championship that summer. He did so proudly wearing the Real Madrid crest on his shirt.”
The 1975-1976 season
“Those of you who joined the madridista family during the 1975-1976 season had the privilege of witnessing great moments in Real Madrid's history. In football, the team won the League, reaffirming its dominance in Spanish football. Pirri, our beloved honorary president, was the team's top scorer in the league. In basketball, our team secured another League title, extending an extraordinary streak that established us as one of the great dominators of European basketball. The team included legends such as Brabender, Clifford Luyk, Corbalán, Rafa Rullán, and Vicente Paniagua. Also, Walter Szczerbiak, the league's top scorer, to whom we recently paid a well-deserved tribute on the 50th anniversary of his enduring achievement: his record-setting 65-point game in a league match.”
“Dear members, dear madridistas, today we honor you. 50 and 60 years living with a unique passion for our beloved Real Madrid. Thank you very much for sharing this journey together.”
